How to wire a V5 Shield properly

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello,

I will put my custom components in a V5 shield.
Is simple
Two screw terminals for 7 external connections
Two resistors
Two electrolytic capacitors
One 7812 regulator

The question is:

I need to use pins 9, 10 and 11

I see two ways of wiring them

A. Solder small wires as indicated in the pic to connect those signals to my custom rails

B. Use a 90 degree bent pluged in the upper part and the solder the three wires to the shield pcb

Which is the best way ?

For GND and +5 this is not necesary because of the rails provided

Thanks a lot
Horacio

Hi,

That is called a "Prototype Shield".

You can make the connections you showed, or bring them up a little farther to the "Group of 3 holes connected together".

You get to decide most of the wiring layout on a proto board.

Thank you Terry,

I will follow your way and perhaps mount everything on a small white proto board that fits the shield size.

Have a nice day !

Hi,
Sorry, I must have been confusing.

The Shield you have is a "Proto Shield" which is a type of protoboard with Arduino
pins. You don't necessarily need an added proto board..
